This week Kevin and I are participating in the PhoCusWright Travel Conference, Nov. 17 to 20, in Los Angeles’ Hollywood, Calif. In between preparing for the start of the conference, we took advantage of the fact that the venue, Renaissance Hollywood Hotel, is right on Hollywood Boulevard.
We took a stroll along the nearby Hollywood Walk of Fame. It’s pretty fascinating to see all the stars who have contributed to the Hollywood industry immortalized in the sidewalk! There are more than 2,000 stars listed over this 3.5-mile round-trip walk. Does anyone know what the criteria are to earn a star on the sidewalk? I set off looking for fellow Scots Sean Connery and Ewan MacGregor, but failed—let me know if you find them!
On route, we also stopped at the famous Grauman’s Chinese Theatre which is a film theater but is more famous for all the handprints and footprints of the rich and famous. These range from Shirley Temple’s 1935 signature, to Will Smith’s more recent handprints.
However, as they say … on with the show, so it’s back to work for us with an exciting few days hearing about what’s going on in the Travel Industry and presenting TravelMuse. I’ll be posting news from PhoCusWright on our TravelMuse Company Blog and you can also follow TravelMuse on Twitter.
